On openSUSE Leap 15.6 x86_64, with gcc 7 and test-case
gdb.base/condbreak-multi-context.exp I run into:
...
(gdb) print aaa^M
$3 = <optimized out>^M
(gdb) FAIL: $exp: start_before=true: scenario_1: print aaa
...
This is a regression since commit
86ac8c54623 ("Convert
lookup_symbol_in_objfile").
Likewise in test-cases gdb.cp/m-static.exp and gdb.cp/namespace.exp.
The failure is specific to using Dwarf v4:
- using target board unix/gdb:debug_flags=-gdwarf-5 fixes it
- using target board unix/gdb:debug_flags=-gdwarf-4 on Tumbleweed (with gcc 15
and Dwarf v5 default) triggers it
The variable we're trying to print, A::aaa is a static const int member:
...
class A : public Base
{
public:
static const int aaa = 10;
...
};
...
With Dwarf v5, we have this DIE:
...
<2><356>: Abbrev Number: 2 (DW_TAG_variable)
<357> DW_AT_name : aaa
<35c> DW_AT_linkage_name: _ZN1A3aaaE
<364> DW_AT_external : 1
<364> DW_AT_accessibility: 1 (public)
<364> DW_AT_declaration : 1
<364> DW_AT_const_value : 10
...
and the cooked index contains these corresponding entries:
...
[45] ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x7facf0004730)
name: _ZN1A3aaaE
canonical: _ZN1A3aaaE
qualified: _ZN1A3aaaE
DWARF tag: DW_TAG_variable
flags: 0x4 [IS_LINKAGE]
DIE offset: 0x356
parent: ((cooked_index_entry *) 0)
[52] ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x7facf0004700)
name: aaa
canonical: aaa
qualified: A::aaa
DWARF tag: DW_TAG_variable
flags: 0x0 []
DIE offset: 0x356
parent: ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x7facf00046d0) [A]
...
With Dwarf v4, we have instead the following DIE:
...
<2><350>: Abbrev Number: 3 (DW_TAG_member)
<351> DW_AT_name : aaa
<35b> DW_AT_external : 1
<35b> DW_AT_accessibility: 1 (public)
<35c> DW_AT_declaration : 1
<35c> DW_AT_const_value : 4 byte block: a 0 0 0
...
and there are no corresponding entries.
Fix this by adding an entry:
...
[47] ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x7f5a24004660)
name: aaa
canonical: aaa
qualified: A::aaa
DWARF tag: DW_TAG_member
flags: 0x0 []
DIE offset: 0x350
parent: ((cooked_index_entry *) 0x7f5a24004630) [A]
...
Add a regression test in the form of a dwarf assembly test-case printing the
value of variable A::aaa.
In the test-case, for A::aaa, DW_FORM_flag is used to encode
DW_AT_declaration. In v1 of this patch that mattered (because of using
has_hardcoded_declaration in abbrev_table::read), but that's no longer the
case. Nevertheless, also add an A::bbb using FORM_flag_present for
DW_AT_declaration (and while we're at it, DW_AT_external as well).
Also add two variants, for which <optimized out> is printed:
- A::ccc: a variant with DW_AT_location instead of DW_AT_const_value, and
- A::ddd: a variant without external.
This behavior is not part of the regression. I've reproduced it using a
system gdb based on 14.2. It's also not specific to using the cooked index,
it reproduces with -readnow as well.
Tested on x86_64-linux.
